About Me
I have been practicing accounting and tax preparation in South Seminole County of Florida since 1965. My roots go back to the mid-west where was born in Iowa and graduated from the University of Iowa with a BSC degree and major in accounting in 1950. I served as President of the Florida Accountants Association in 1971-72. In 1988, I was honored to be selected as the "Accountant of the Year" by the National Society of Accountants.

In 1996, I received THE SOFTWARE NEWS AWARD "For Advancement of Public Accounting Through Technology". My current practice is limited to taxation and helping small business clients with their business problems.

I am also active with the High Country Chapter of the North Carolina Society of Accountants, which is headquartered in Banner Elk, NC. Our annual super seminar, woolly worm races, and party, held the second weekend in October, were known throughout the country for fun and worthwhile CPE for Accountants. It is unfortunate that 2001 was the last year of this October event, due to lack of attendance. After 13 years, the event eventually wore itself out.

In 1979, I organized Professional Tax Institutes (PTI), which conducts seminars on taxation and accounting subjects on a nation-wide basis. Although I sold the company in 1992, I continued to be a regular speaker in the fall 1040 seminars through the 1998 seminar season. After 20 years on the fall seminar circuit, I have decided to retire from the rigors of travel and spend more time just "smelling the roses"!

I am now enjoying semi-retirement and keep my office open on an appointment basis only. Computer technology keeps me fascinated and I love exploring the multitude of subjects on the Web.
